My Beef Pot Roast Taste Bland :( Please help me make it taste more sweet/flavorful!?

okay....basics of a pot roast. Season and brown it or sear it in a skillet first. Always. Never put a raw hunk of meat in the crock pot. Also, you are over doing the spices. Stick with salt and pepper, garlic until you have more experience. Don't add lemon anymore either. I don't know why you would do that. No basil either. I hope this works out for your next one. I don't know how to fix this one though. I'm sorry. Did you brown it though?
